Technik & mehr von damals und heute
A trend of the 80’s were mobile video games. As in the Gameboy, PSP and in the meantime also smartphone times, it was quite practical to have a small, compact game console with you as a young person. As an example, I dug up one of these “mini consoles”. It is a popular video…

Now, during the holidays, it is a bit of time to copy the time stored on magnetic tape image and sound to new media. The video recordings of the early 90s were still analogue on 8mm tapes instead. No, not Super8 (that was the movieformat like in cinema those times but much smaller), but…

Some time ago I wrote a post about the Amiga Genlock “VESONE”. It can be found under the title “Amiga and Genlock”.(link) Apparently there are still some people who own such a device and want to use it again. But since, as with me, the necessary cables, software etc. are not necessarily stored where the…

From my youth, these three red boxes came to this article. A relic from the basement of my parents’ house. These are the electronic experiment boxes from Busch. These are the boxes “Compact studio 2060”, the “supplementary package 2061” and the “digital-technik 2075” box. Busch electronic 2060, 2061 und 2075 The kits are in a…

Before it lands in the archive, I have to put it here too … It is a hard drive from the 90s (exactly 21.10.1991) – namely a 2.5 inch disk from Seagate with the incredible storage capacity of 85.3 MB (yes MEGABYTE). In comparison, a 160 GB (Gigabyte) disk from Fujitsu in 2007. The Seagate…

I recently updated my home network a bit and swapped the old Netgear ReadyNAS Duo for a QNAP TS420. Since the supplier wanted to have a “rating” on the article, I indulged myself in the five minutes and wrote a few lines … I opted for Qnap based on a recommendation from an IT…

Slowly, it is time to archive all the tech stuff you have to deal with on a daily basis and always had to do before, in a blog. Above all, when I’m in my parents’ house, I always find interesting things from my childhood and adolescence … And since you are always on the move…

Vor einiger Zeit habe ich über das Amiga Genlock “VESONE” einen Beitrag verfasst. Der ist unter dem Titel “Amiga und Genlock” zu finden. (link) Es gibt anscheinend doch noch einige Leute, die ein solches Gerät besitzen und es wieder in Betrieb nehmen möchten. Da aber, so wie auch bei mir, die notwendigen Kabel, Software etc,…

Nach dem großen Erfolg meines ersten Buches zum Retroblog, habe ich mich nun durchgerungen und ein zweites Buch verfasst – NEIN SPASS – es gab gar keinen Erfolg. Das Buch habe ich damals verfasst, um für mich selber ein in Papier gedrucktes Werk meiner (Un)taten dieser Website in Händen zu halten. Denn erstens ist es…

Aufgrund einiger Anfragen betreffend der elektrischen Verkabelung des Tomy-Racing-Cockpit, habe ich mich mal dazu gesetzt und die Verdrahtung herausgezeichnet. Es gibt scheinbar doch viele Altersgenossen, die in ihren Kellern, Dachböden etc. noch Spielzeug aus den 80iger finden und es wieder reparieren. Bei dem Tomy Cockpit kommt es immer wieder vor, dass die dünnen Drähte schon…
